Patient's question:
The baby developed eczema right after birth, it was red and swollen, and it looked very concerning. What is the cause of eczema in newborns?Doctor's answer:
The main cause of neonatal eczema is allergies, usually triggered by proteins in food or inhaled allergens. Since neonatal eczema is a skin condition, clinical diagnosis primarily focuses on symptoms such as redness, rashes, and scaling of the skin, as well as itching. During treatment, patients should adhere to a balanced diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, actively engage in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental well-being. Keeping personal hygiene clean is also important to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
